Co-operative housing, properly managed, can play its part in resolving the housing crisis in Ireland. Indeed, in partnership with Local Authorities, it may be the only way to provide affordable housing.

We will work with local authorities and like-minded groups to change the way housing is delivered in Ireland. Together we can build communities and not just houses!

What are we trying to achieve?

The goal of Ó Cualann is to develop and support fully-integrated communities, to deliver well-designed, top-quality, energy efficient homes at an affordable price and to ensure its co-operative model for affordable housing can be replicated and scaled across the country.

Ó Cualann is committed to building communities, not just houses.

Why are we trying to achieve it?

Ó Cualann believes that integrated, affordable housing — based on co-operative principles which have such deep roots in Ireland — can have a transformative effect on wider societal issues over the medium to longer term and in building a more just and equitable society.

Ó Cualann are willing to work in an open and collaborative fashion with others who are committed to improving society through the Ó Cualann Model.
